[Message from Kenji Shimizu, President and Representative Director, Fuji Television Network, Inc.]
Fuji TV is currently transforming into a company that creates, nurtures, and delivers world-class content, going beyond the boundaries of traditional broadcasting. At this turning point, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to once again bring you the Japan tour of Cirque du Soleil, with whom we have built a trusting relationship over many years, thanks to the support of all related parties. Through this performance, we hope to deliver "authentic emotion" that can be shared across generations and languages to people all over Japan. Fuji TV will make every effort to ensure that this performance is not just a theatrical experience, but a lasting memory for both the fans who have been waiting for this day and those experiencing the world of Cirque du Soleil for the first time.

[Message from Yago Pita Alvarez, Vice President Show Operations, Cirque du Soleil]
Since Cirque du Soleil and Fuji TV first teamed up to bring innovative circus performances to the Japanese public more than 30 years ago, 14 original productions have been presented to over 15 million spectators, bringing wonder and joy to many people, from children to adults. Our long-standing collaboration with Fuji TV is a testament to our commitment to delivering an unforgettable experience to the discerning Japanese audience, going beyond simply providing spectacular stage productions. We are very pleased to have this opportunity to open a new chapter for Cirque du Soleil in Japan and to rebuild our bond with our fans.
